David O’Brien sent me a replacement head for my whistle which, while keeping the backpressure and character of tone that I love, has increased the volume.
This whistle now has the volume to be useable (but not overpowering) in session, making it one of my very favorite session whistles.
Here’s a recording with the new head, of Manus Lunny’s Terra Cotta Flowerpot (yeah, strange title, but a rocking nice jig):

I got mine today =) It’s like sex on the beach…It’s my favorite whistle.
The Obrien sounds great.
That is a very nice site you have there James. I also enjoyed Arren Boat with Susato, Flute & 12 string guitar.
Thanks.
That recording of Aaron Boat is years old, but is precious to me because Pat, Sam, and I can never seem to all get together at one time to play together anymore.

Hmmmm, sex on the beach.
